# create-lilypad-module

`create-lilypad-module` is an officially supported package that provides a simple scaffolding for building Lilypad modules. It offers a modern Docker setup with minimal configuration.

{% hint style="info" %}
A Lilypad module is a Git repository that allows you to perform various tasks using predefined templates and inputs.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The following guide is using the "Hugging Face" template, which is more advanced.

If you are new to module building, it is highly recommended you use the "Ollama" template first.

There is currently not a guide in our docs for the "Ollama" template. We will work on adding one soon, but the directions in the README should be sufficient.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lilypad.tech/lilypad/developer-resources/module-marketplace/create-lilypad-module.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
